Dracula Rising

Summary: Love is Eternal . . .
Review: A brilliant art restorer is called to work on an ancient painting that has been badly burned. Little does she know that she looks exactly like the woman that Dracula's son loved a century ago and was burned at the stake, falsely accused of witchcraft. It's a story of eternal love and conflict. Modern vampire lore with the flavor of classic gothic vampire tales mingled into it. It therefore may be a little slow paced for people who only like the "Blade" speed of films but I think most folks who enjoy vampire films will find something to like about this one.

Summary: All right, but don't judge all Dracula's by *this* version!
Review: Dracula barely appears in this movie that focuses more on his son and his sons reincarnated love than on anything else. Far-fetched, with intersting camara-work and mediocre acting, this movie is worth viewing until the end when it becomes absurd and painful. For devoted Dracula fans.

Summary: Don't expect a typical Dracula
Review: I bet you Bram Stoker is rolling in his grave. This vampire movie may put you to sleep, especially the main character. At times he is convincing, then he gets this crazed look in his eyes which makes you giggle. The storyline is surprising though, a new look at a Dracula tale. Don't expect to much, but, if you are a vampire fan and have nothing to do watch it....

Summary: FANGS FOR NOTHING
Review: Poor Count Dracula. In over 70 years of moviemaking, the bloody vampire has been played by everyone from Bela Lugosi to Leslie Nielsen; Gerard Butler to Frank Langella; Christopher Lee to David Peel; and so on and so on. Now, Christopher Atkins from THE BLUE LAGOON plays the vampire's son, a blond charmer who doesn't really want to be a vampire, and who is mooning over his lost love from 500 years ago. She is now embodied in an art restorer's persona, played lazily and lifeless by Stacey Travis. Doug Wert plays the bad vampire as if he was in a Saturday Night Live skit, which would have worked had the movie had its tongue in its cheek. Alas, though, it tries to be a Gothic romance horror film, and doesn't capture the essence of any of them.
Burdened with repetitive flashback scenes that tell us how Atkins and Wert became vampires, the movie lopes along at a snail's pace, and the climax is amazingly funny. With special effects straight from the dark age, we are treated to Atkins who is now dressed in white and who can shoot sparks from his hands, and summon demonic bats.
DRACULA RISING joins the countless vampire movies that just don't have any bite!

Summary: Terrible
Review: The movie's occasionally interesting cinematography cannot make up for its unfocused and ridiculous story of Dracula's son. Such a premise could definitely have yielded a good movie, but it's doubtful to me that the filmmakers really tried to make the most of the idea. Overall, this is a poorly executed film that is so bad it might be better off getting the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment.

Summary: SMELLY!
Review: This movie is really stupid and made me fall asleep.Maybe you will like it,but trust me rent this title before making your final choice.I recommend it that you see Bela Lugosi,Gary Oldman(Bram Stoker's Dracula,R),Kaulis Kinski(Nosferatu,1979)and Christopher Lee(Hammer Film Company).Rated R for language,violence,adult content,and nudity.
